Does anyone know if you can query another agent from this agency should one pass your project?

I was surprised not to get a form letter rejection but instead a personalized critique of the pages I submitted. So that was nice.

She’s usually fast with responding but it seems she’s slower with her DVPit requests

Thank you so much for sending along your work. I really wanted to love this one - the premise sounds amazing. Unfortunately though, I didn't love the voice and storytelling. I'm regretfully going to pass as it's not quite right for my list. Keep in mind that the industry is subjective, and another agent could very well feel differently. I wish you the best of luck.

Thank you so much for responding to my request and sending along your work. While I really love the cultural elements here, I felt like the story needed more development. It felt a little slight to me. I'm sorry to not have better news, but I'm regretfully going to pass as it's not quite right for my list. Keep in mind that the industry is subjective, and another agent could very well feel differently. I wish you the best of luck, and please keep me in mind for future work.
